Episode #122: How to Choose a High Quality Multivitamin


Listen Later

Research shows that multivitamins have NO benefit to human health, but you should still take one. 

Why? 

Because the people who took part in these large population based research studies, didn't listen to my podcast before they chose a multivitamin. 

As with anything, not all multivitamins are created equally. I would say that about 99% of the clients that I have worked with who were taking a multivitamin were usually taking a grocery store brand. 

These multivitamins contain cheap vitamins and minerals that are poorly dosed, some of which are in forms that are not even usable in the body. B12 for instance is in the form of cyanocobalamin (aka bound to cyanide) which needs to be methylated in order to be used. Thirty percent of the population cannot methylate b-vitamins, so instead they get a small dose of cyanide bound to nothing useful. 

Today on the show, I am going to tell you what to look out for when choosing a multivitamin.

Here is the multivitamin that I use and recommend

Here is another really high quality powder that also comes with 15 grams of pea protein and some detox nutrients. I have used this one on and off. I love it, but don't have a smoothie everyday, which is why I go with the pills.
